Window shopping raises questions about conventionalism. From the male perspective, on the other hand, the female fits the stereotype of being available.
Moreover, the idea is that behavioral and psychological differences between the sexes have biological causes that have remained for a lifetime, and there is no winning or losing in every way.

The glass window projects one’s soul. The other images, such as the signs, are us; the words are our universe. We mirror her actions, fulfilling what we may wish to feel, think, or be adverse to for her when, in reality, it is only an assumption.

Also, window shopping explores the stereotypes from the male and female perspectives—their perspective regarding their assumptions about appearance.

The advertisement is number one on this list. From fashion magazines to home décor magazines, the woman is presented as slim and perfect.

Hence, a man must look sharp and intelligent under any circumstances. But, unfortunately, we live in a society where appearance is too much to put up. There is no right or wrong for not looking suitable to other expectations.

From a technical aspect, layers and tones recreate transparency to create a collage look. The glazing reflects backward letters on most of the model body. Notice once more that she is almost hiding behind these elements. The focal point is on her face, pointing at the sign recalling to open.

Her beauty, in contrast, is intoxicating, and we can not escape it. She is not for sale; she is just attending the store. However, boutiques in Manhattan are energetic and appealing. In the end, they induce you to buy.

In conclusion, assuming ideas creates false findings and can get us in deep trouble. It is better to let the path run its course by observing and being discreet.

Well, it wasn’t because I never had a series of paintings that could represent me.

She sits in the back on this theme, posing in despair; Latin countries were going through a dry time regarding drug lords. And the USA declared them as the first drug smugglers. I recalled her feeling ashamed of being part of the country’s problems, and I used to tell her not to, because the first consumers were here, but it was in vain.

I meant to pose her as being in a reflective mood. But then, as I added objects around her, the painting took a somber tone. Moreover, the mood in the scale painting feels hostile, and nature reflects the state of danger we treat it with. This is a non-living place to be. So then, she added a melancholy state of mind that bounces back and forth with her surroundings.

I brought her to help me at a gallery in Manhattan, where we were making copies of an Asian artist’s work that had been sent to the Taipei Museum in Taiwan.

However, she did not like New York’s cold weather and returned to her beloved Florida. Their parents disagreed with me living with her. So, I was the bridge that let her to break their rules.

In the end, we had a great time. But, then and now, it did change for good. Then, in time, we grow more vital to remember and celebrate it.
